Having 2 urgent cancer tests this week and not coping at all. Any advice welcome

Hiya I'm Sarah 53...I have 2 urgent tests this week for breast acid lung cancer and i am not coping at all...it's a frightening place to be. Any idea how to get my head round the fact that my life is about to be turned upside down and I am scared stiff..any advice is welcome 

Thank you 

  • Hi Floss1971 waiting for tests and results is a scary place to be and your feelings are totally normal. My cancer is different to yours but I tried to keep myself busy with things I enjoyed that took my head somewhere else, easier said than done I know. Lean on family and friends tell them how you feel, or there are lots of charitys or forums like this if its easier to unload to a stranger as such. Sending hugs. Xx

  • Thank you for the reply, I will try to not think too much about it as I haven't been diagnosed yet but I'm so scared of the tests results as lot of family history with cancer so I don't have much hope....

  • Thank you for your reply, I'm just panicking about the test results and trying to find other things to occupy my mind but I'm struggling with my mental health too, I guess i have to face it head on
